This book has haunted me for years, but I finally read it, and it was boring. The cover looked pretty cool, so I tried and recreate it, but using the face of 
Felix D~! A book about fattening dragons would have been so much better than what I got.
Krondor the Betrayal, was a book written after the author had their world made into a CRPG. The sort of wireframe dragon on the cover was there to somewhat signify this, and I thought it looked cool. However when reading it, the tedium begins. The story is written like it's a game, you get the introduction, all the characters introduced, and then the main characters go around and do various tasks to vaguely prepare for some sort of invasion from dark elves from the north.
The three main characters were James Locklear, thief turned squire and friend of the prince. Owen Belefote, wizard apprentice. Lastly Gorath, exiled dark elf chief who ran off to warn the prince of upcoming invasion. Other characters showed up on occassion, but those three clearly were there to be the main characters.
The story played out just like a typical DnD campaign where the DM was just going by the seat of their pants. Go meet the prince, watch out for the assassins, find out about the assassins over here, investigate them, oh but remember the dark elves, you're captured by them, but oh wait, your former lover broke you out of prison- so on and so forth. Fights were written very much like a game, magic man magicked, elf dude was too cool, and main hero did usual sword things.
Worst part, the dragon only appears 3 times in the story, twice as a vision, then a third actually doing something for the story, essentially showing up, burning the bad guy-albeit the illusion of him- and then flying off. Atleast there was that~
Despite having two more stories after this, I think I'll pass on those. Overall, I'd give the story a 4/10.
As for the attempt at the cover itself, a few things I need to figure out for the next attempt: The white text, it's too small to cut out, acrylic paints might work instead.
The imprint on the letters, thinking I might be able to recreate that look with foam stuff. The black boardering the letters, I should probably just use a sheet of black paper for, marker looks bad and isn't quite as good for the crisp details, I'd just have to change the letters so the black sheet is a continous shape, not seperate ones.
